hitdataft: DAT! Catch the Early Bloom! Daffodils on Wigwam Road, Litchfield.

It is time for the once yearly, short and happy pilgrimage to walk the daffodils. This is a sure sign of spring we so deserve! Visitors are filled with the wonder of standing in the midst of thousands of blossoms akin to a movie scene stuffed with poppies ...only yellow.

The blossoms are ready to view now and will be around their peak in about a week. No picking allowed, no picnics and no dogs. This is just a easy stroll allowing for lots of gorgeous photos that look like heaven on earth. Typically, the display lasts for six weeks in April and May of each year with the best weeks varying on the weather conditions.

Narcissus, the botanical name for the daffodil, is named after a son of a god and a nymph in Greek mythology. He fell in love with his own reflection and ended up turned into a flower. However, you can still capture few beautiful shots without getting too carried away. Take friends for some long range photos of you to get that full movie set effect to enjoy at home.

The Laurel Ridge Foundation is private land that is only open for a few weeks in the spring for visitors to enjoy the fully flowered rolling hillside. It is a flowered oasis as well as an other worldly experience looking upon Narcissus for sure.
